San Francisco can tell me it is a progressive city all it wants to, but when I ride my bike I see evidence that it’s simply not true. Because I can see how you’ve voted with your dollar. I see that you were willing to give your dollar to a nazi transphobe that defunded USAid and killed 22 million people in the process.
“But we didn’t know he was like that.”
Yes we did.
Every time we shop at Target we are supporting a company that dismantled all its DEI and Pride initiatives before they were even threatened with anything. ...
Every time we walk into a Home Depot or a Lowe’s we’re supporting a company that gives ICE a reach-around every time they pull into their parking lot.
When we put our dollars there, we don’t have that dollar anymore. We no longer have a dollar that we can give to our local hardware store ... to the trans-inclusive Girl Scout troop, to a rent relief fund in Minnesota.
